Spring Ripe Pu-erh

This aged ripe Pu-erh from Bulang offers a rich, smooth liquor with deep earthy notes and a pleasant sweetness. Its substantial body and comforting warmth make it an excellent choice for a grounding t. It leans earthy, smooth and deep.

Water around 95–100 °C (203–212 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 5–7 g per 100 ml, 10–20 s steeps (10–20+ rounds). You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Rinse the leaves once with boiling water before your first real steep. It cleans off storage dust and gets the flavor going.

Grown in Yunnan, China from the Gushu cultivar. This batch is from the Spring 2013 harvest.

Starts at $7.50 from NWPuerh, or about $0.27/g. A 25g package gets you around 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.62 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
